That\u2019s not the truth, Ellen.<\/a> Nic Vansteenberghe from Love Island USA<\/a> is clearing up the \u201csnitches and rats<\/a>\u201d allegations from TikTok. On Watch What Happens Live<\/a>, Andy Cohen asked the top two couples, Nic and Olandria Carthen <\/a>and Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales<\/a>, who left the Villa too early, and they all said Jeremiah Brown<\/a>, despite Nic being in the group of boys who voted him off the island. But Nic cleared up that he was not just following the leader, Ace Greene<\/a>, as TikTok edits like to think. \u201cI voted Austin off that night,\u201d Nic clarified. He also set the record straight that he wasn\u2019t just following Ace\u2019s lead during the show. When asked directly by Cohen if Ace was the ringleader, he said, \u201cI would love to see him as the Gru to my Minion, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s Gru, no.\u201d<\/p>\n Throughout the Villa, fans accused Ace of being the \u201cringleader\u201d of the boys, especially when it came down to eliminating one of their fellow Islanders, Jeremiah. One edit used Morgan Freeman on a 21 Savage interlude called \u201cSnitches and Rats\u201d to call Nic out for allegedly voting off Jeremiah, as the episode didn\u2019t show the cast discussing who they wanted to vote off, and they assumed that each vote was a unanimous decision. When Nick Viall showed Jeremiah the edit after he got eliminated and asked him if he saw it \u201cany differently than America,\u201d Jeremiah replied, \u201cNo, not at all. It honestly wasn\u2019t heartbreaking but more like betrayal.\u201d Maybe they can work it out on the remix.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n
